St. James Plaindealer

St. James High School students will be presenting the annual fall musical Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 8-10 beginning at 7:30 pm in the High School Theater.

The slapstick musical comedy, Bugsy Malone follows the rivalry between two half-witted street gangs and the washed up, well intentioned, one-time boxer (Adam Bruton) who steps in to take control of Fat Sam's (Sam Carlson) gang and give Dandy Dan (Elliut Fonseca) and his boys what they've got coming.

Romantic interests for the gang leaders include Blousey Brown (Cassidy Chapek), Tallulah (Kalley Guerdet) and Louella (Liana Tonsager). In this film noir spoof, the message is one of good, clean fun: the characters are wonderful 1920's cartoon cutouts; and the weapons of choice are 'splurge' whip cream guns, silly string and custard pies.
